Investing.com -- As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the market landscape, investors are questioning whether the AI rally, previously concentrated in a few key tech stocks, is now broadening to encompass a wider range of industries. Recent analysis suggests that the market may indeed be entering a new phase.

According to a note by Capital Economics, while the initial AI boom was centered on semiconductor companies and cloud computing providers, it now observes a more diffuse impact, with applications extending into sectors like healthcare, finance, and industrial automation.

This broader rally reflects a shift as businesses across various industries begin integrating AI technologies into their operations. The report highlights healthcare firms leveraging AI for diagnostics, financial institutions deploying AI for risk management, and industrial companies using automation to improve efficiency.

However, the pace of adoption varies significantly. "The AI narrative is expanding, but the speed at which companies can translate potential into profitability is uneven," Capital Economics noted. Sectors like retail and energy, for instance, are slower to adopt AI due to challenges in infrastructure and capital allocation.

Despite these disparities, the report underscores that market enthusiasm remains strong, driven by sustained investment in AI startups and government initiatives supporting innovation. Whether this broadening of the AI rally sustains over the long term will depend on technological breakthroughs and macroeconomic conditions.

For now, the AI rally appears poised to extend beyond its initial frontrunners, opening new opportunities for diverse sectors and signaling a potentially transformative phase for global markets.
